An apparatus for assisted buckle release employing a generally C-shaped, V-shaped, or U-shaped assistive device adapted to depress a buckle's release button, such as a button typical of a child car seat restraint harness, and thereby assist in unlocking the buckle.

A tool for replacing an escalator drive shaft comprises a first tool and a second tool. One side of the first tool is adapted to be assembled on an original shaft adapter, and the other side of the first tool is adapted to be assembled on a new shaft adapter. The second tool is adapted to be assembled on the first tool. A central axis of the first tool coincides with a central axis of the original shaft adapter, a central axis of the second tool coincides with the central axis of the first tool, and the central axis of the first tool coincides with a central axis of the new shaft adapter. A positioning reference of the original drive shaft is accurately transferred to the new drive shaft by the first and second tools, so that the new drive shaft may be accurately assembled to the position of the original drive shaft with respect to the truss after replacement.

Carpet pad removal tools may include a handle and a headplate coupled to the handle. The headplate may include a plurality of teeth along an edge of the headplate that is angled relative to the rest of the headplate. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

A connecting tool for connecting a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion of at least one connecting member. The connecting tool may include a shaft. The shaft may include a shaft axis, an operational end, and a body. The shaft may include a recess configured to engage said first connecting portion of said at least one connecting member. The operational end may include an aperture configured to engage said second connecting portion of said at least one connecting member.

A crimp tool includes a frame, a lead screw and a nut assembly connected to the lead screw. A spring member is connected to the frame and movable with rotation of the lead screw. A first transducer is connected to the nut assembly to measure a first force applied on the nut assembly. A second transducer is connected to the spring member to measure a second force applied thereon by the spring member.

A hand-held knockout driver includes a main housing having a handle portion, a motor positioned within the main housing, a pump assembly driven by the motor, and a secondary housing coupled to the main housing and defining a bore therein. The hand-held knockout driver also includes a working piston moveable within the bore from a rest position to an actuated position to define a piston throw distance therebetween. The hand-held knockout driver also includes a draw stud coupled to the working piston, a die coupled to the secondary housing, and a punch coupled to the draw stud opposite the working piston for movement therewith relative to the die. The die has a depth greater than the piston throw distance.

Installation system for a box profile (100) for a motor vehicle, wherein the installation system (1) has: —at least one carrier strip (10), which can be pushed into the box profile (100), —at least one nut element (20) for prepositioning on the carrier strip (10), wherein the nut element (20) is designed to be prepositioned in a releasable manner on the carrier strip (10), and the installation system (1) has a positioning strip (30), which can be displaced relative to the carrier strip (10) and is designed to arrange the at least one nut element (20), in the state in which the latter has been prepositioned on the carrier strip (10), on an opening (102) of the box profile (100). Installation method. Nut element.

Portable, hand held, battery operated, hydraulic tools are provided with a tool frame and one or more interchangeable working heads. When the working head is connected with the tool frame, a piston actuated by a hydraulic system within the tool frame applies force to the working head to perform a task. A coupling mechanism holds the working head to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism allows the working head to be removed from the tool frame and another working head to be joined to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can hold the working head at a fixed rotational angle with respect to the tool frame. The coupling mechanism can also allow the working head to rotate with respect to the tool frame.
